They didn't actually fire munition at the helicopter, it was none lethal signal ammunition so no not a good idea to lob missiles at them, maybe fire back their own signal ammunition.Firing on German helicopter should elicit a proper response, lob a couple of missiles at the offending warship.

It's Russia being Billy Big Bollocks. A swift response would take them down a peg.They didn't actually fire munition at the helicopter, it was none lethal signal ammunition so no not a good idea to lob missiles at them, maybe fire back their own signal ammunition.
Russia is always doing this kind of thing. Pushing the boundaries. Seeing how far they can go. Why waste a couple of missiles?Firing on German helicopter should elicit a proper response, lob a couple of missiles at the offending warship. Give them a bloody nose.
Hold fire tiger. They might be probing to find out things like response times, or whether the aircraft is allowed to release missiles autonomously. They might be listening in, to determine amongst other things, where the message is being received and relayed.It's Russia being Billy Big Bollocks. A swift response would take them down a peg.

Soon all punishments from parking tickets up will be "to the frontline".Their prison population must be very low too…..
Well done Malta. A gentle people, who don't deserve any Russians anywhere near their country.
And especially not a member of the Russian government at the OSCE (Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe) Council of Foreign Ministers.
My mum was married to a Maltese. He was a gentleman, and generous in spirit. His extended family were the same.Maltese, a gentle people ? They're like Italians on the marching powder. Delightful, warm, hospitable. Just don't piss them off. They kicked us out in 1979, and we weren't going to challenge it.
Oh they are indeed. That's the point. But they are made of steel too. Must be the most invaded nation in history. They are quite well disposed towards Brits, grudgingly tolerant of Italians. Germans, well...My mum was married to a Maltese. He was a gentleman, and generous in spirit. His extended family were the same.
No they didn't. Following independence and later opting to become a republic (but still remaining in friendship in the Commonwealth), our troops were stationed there by a mutual agreement, which ended in 1979. When the agreement came to an end, we left, as stipulated in the agreement. No kicking involved.Maltese, a gentle people ? They're like Italians on the marching powder. Delightful, warm, hospitable.

Mintoff had wanted the UK to leave and they were going to, and began to. The only reason they were able to stay until 1979 was because a new agreement was struck for substantially increased payments. Mintoff was a clever operator. It's an interesting history. My Dad loved Malta and spoke of it often. But as I said, despite the shenanigans, it was always an island well disposed towards us.No they didn't.
